Researchers from IAC and ULL have confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth in the habitable zone of the star HD 20794, just 20 light-years away. This planet, named HD 20794 d, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits its star every 647 days. Due to its position in the habitable zone, it […]
In February 2025, Bitwarden is implementing new security measures requiring additional verification for users without two-step login. Users logging in from new devices will be prompted to enter a one-time verification code sent to their email after entering their master password. This extra layer of security aims to prevent unauthorized access even if passwords are […]
Maxima is a computer algebra system with a browser frontend created by Marius Gerbershagen. The frontend is built using Embeddable Common Lisp, emscripten, gnuplot, and MathJax. Source code is available for anyone interested.
Xuan-Son Nguyen’s PR for llama.cpp has significantly sped up the performance of WebAssembly (WASM) by optimizing SIMD instructions. What’s surprising is that 99% of the code in the PR was actually written by DeepSeek-R1. Nguyen’s role was mainly to develop tests and write prompts, which were then run by R1 on chat.deepseek.com. The use of […]
DeepSeek-R1 is a groundbreaking advancement in AI, featuring open weights and distilled versions that reflect OpenAI O1’s training method. The key highlights are the creation of long chains of reasoning, high-quality reasoning LLM, and large-scale reinforcement learning. DeepSeek-R1 excels in math and reasoning problem-solving by generating thinking tokens to explain its thought process. The model’s […]
Barthelemy’s analysis of chess as a decision tree highlights the complexity and challenge players face in finding the best move to lead them to victory. By reimagining chess as a network of forces represented by interaction graphs, he identified key pieces with high “betweenness centrality” and calculated “fragility scores” to determine their importance in matches. […]
For over 1,000 years, Norwegians have been using crampons to navigate slippery winters. These ice grips with spikes were common in Viking Age graves, used by both humans and horses. Archaeologists find them in cities from the Middle Ages as well. Museum educator Espen Kutschera tested Viking-era crampons on compacted snow and found them effective […]
The author details their experience transforming the UI/UX of the SaaS platform bot.eofferte.eu for Amazon affiliate marketing. They utilized a Go backend, experimented with AI coding assistant Cline, and saw immediate improvements in design and content generation. Noteworthy was the AI’s ability to suggest frameworks, refine designs, and create cohesive content like privacy policies. Prompt […]
In 1947, Rudolf Schenkel observed captive wolves in Switzerland, leading to the popularization of the alpha wolf concept by L. David Mech. However, Mech later discovered that wolves in the wild operated differently, with leadership earned through nurturing and protection, not dominance. This concept of “wild leadership” contrasts sharply with the tech industry’s focus on […]
